“En meget grundig og sober bog om et stykke kulturhistorie, der bliver mere og mere hype om,” skriver lektør Per Månson i DBC's materialevurdering.I 2010 indtog Noma 1. pladsen på listen over verdens bedste restauranter, og året efter vandt Rasmus Kofoed guld i Bocuse D’Or, verdensmesterskaberne for kokke. To begivenheder, der symboliserer den gastronomiske revolution, som Danmark har været igennem de seneste årtier.En revolution, der gav liv til ‘det nye nordiske køkken’ - en bevægelse hvis tankegang har spredt sig verden over. Men hvordan kan et lille land i Norden på bare 30 år bevæge sig fra at være en gastronomisk udørk til at blive en verdensberømt gastronomisk destination? Hvem var hovedaktører i revolutionen, hvad var drivkraften, hvem står nutidens stjerner på skuldrene af, hvad kan vi lære af historien? Og hvad bliver det næste skridt for Danmarks gastronomiske revolution?Historien fortælles bl.a. via en række interviews med Danmarks mest respekterede kokke, som alle har spillet en vigtig rolle i udviklingen. Heriblandt Søren Gericke, Erwin Lauterbach, Michel Michaud, Jan Hurtigkarl, Thomas Rode, René Redzepi, Christian Puglisi og Rasmus Kofoed.OM FORFATTERENOle Troelsø har fulgt restaurationsbranchen tæt siden 1979, hvor han gik i kokkelære. Han er i dag journalist og gastronomiredaktør på Børsen og har siden 2001 anmeldt over 1000 restauranter.

Vibrationer finder sted i og omkring bygninger. Gennem værker af Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter viser Politikens arkitekturredaktør Karsten Ifversen, hvilken kunstart, det er at få arkitektur til at vibrere på stedet, i menneskene og med tiden. Med et filosofisk blik og i klart sprog besvarer han spørgsmålet: Hvad er god arkitektur?Tænk på Det kongelige Teaters skuespilhus ved vandet. Tænk på det cirkelrunde Tietgen Kollegiet i Ørestad. Tænk på CBS’ Kilen på Frederiksberg eller SEB Bank og Pensions hovedsæde ved Kalvebod Brygge. Alle byggerier, der forholder sig til, inddrager og tilfører omgivelserne, de er opført i, nye kvaliteter.“De tager udgangspunkt i en nordisk tradition og stedets betingelser, men deres vilje til at forny arkitekturen overskrider helt det blot lokale og bringer dem i klasse med nogle af verdens førende tegnestuer”, skriver Karsten R.S. Ifversen i bogen, hvor han forsøger at få greb om, hvad det er ved disse huse, der gør Lundgaard & Tranberg til tidens mest betydelige danske tegnestue.Med fotografier af Jens Lindhe.

En af nordens største fortællere, Kerstin Ekman, skriver en ung kvindes liv og verden frem fra en fjern fortid. Med skønlitterære og personlige nedslag er Tullias verden en fortælling om kvindeliv på tværs af årtusinder, krige og magtkampe. Tullia levede i det antikke Rom som datter af Cicero.Kerstin Ekman finder spor af Tullia i faderen Ciceros breve og af det antikke kvindeliv mere generelt hos blandt andre Ovid, Lukrets, Properts og Catul. Det var mænd, der skrev for evigheden i det antikke Rom, kvinder levede tavse liv. Tullias verden bliver derfor til i et møde mellem en nutidig kvindelig forfatters fantasi og antikkens mandlige digteres overleveringer. Tilsammen bliver det til et troværdigt, rørende og sine steder stilfærdigt rasende portræt af Tullia - og de myriader af kvinder, der levede omkring hende. Tullias verden løfter sløret fra antikkens skjulte kvindebilleder. Det autobiografiske element, Ekmans egen historie, lyser samtidig ned over siderne.Tullias verden handler om retten til at få fortalt sin egen historie. Og retten til at forstå hvordan kvindeliv blev levet den gang det kun var mænd, der tog ordet. De tavse kvinder fra Antikken hvisker deres historie til Kerstin Ekman, der puster liv i myterne og knytter bånd mellem en ung enke i Cæsars Rom og en aldrende forfatterinde i det 21. århundredes Sverige.

Giv nyt liv til gamle broderier, dine aflagte yndlingsjeans og farmors skræddersyede kjole. De og mange andre skønne genbrugsmaterialer kan med kreativitet og en smule snilde syes om til de skønneste små, praktiske tasker og andet fint tilbehør. Det er skønt at tage en ny toilettaske eller et nyt penalhus i brug, og glæden er endnu større, når tasken er hjemmesyet i et smukt og personligt design. Det er nemmere, end man tror, og resultatet er unikt. Og anvendelsesmulighederne er utallige – her er både makeuppunge, indkøbsnet, svømmepose, festclutch og meget mere. Bogen indeholder grundopskrifter og syvejledning på flere forskellige former for tasker. Grundteknikkerne i syningen er ganske enkle, og har man først styr på dem, kan man variere i det uendelige – det er kun fantasien, der sætter grænser, og her gives masser af inspiration. Et stort afsnit har fokus på recycling, hvor alt er syet i eller sammen med genbrugsmaterialer. Det kan være alt fra babysengetøj og en gammel, broderet klokkestreng til lillepigens yndlingskjole eller et lærredsnet med et sjovt motiv. De ’gamle’ materialer får helt nyt liv i samspil med moderne design. Sidst i bogen er der også et afsnit med fem opskrifter på ting, man kan lave af fraklippet stof. Om forfatteren Tina Benfeldt Levring er uddannet inden for tekstilbranchen og har i mange år fungeret som salgskon-sulent og dekoratør i tøjbranchen. I dag har hun et administrativt job i socialpsykiatrien, men bruger al sin fritid på kreative sysler og på udkig efter lækkert stof. Som noget nyt holder Tina workshops, da rigtig mange gerne vil lære at gøre hende kunsten efter.
